HR653: HR653 Veterans Perimeter Road; Coffee County; dedicate

This resolution does not change any Georgia law or create new requirements. It is a ceremonial measure that honors United States military veterans for their service and sacrifice. The operative part of the resolution designates the entire portion of State Route 206 in Coffee County as Veterans Perimeter Road. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the new name, and it directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send a copy of the resolution to the Department of Transportation so the designation can be carried out.

• Dedicates the entire portion of State Route 206 in Coffee County as Veterans Perimeter Road.
• Directs the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the new road name.
